This past Easter Sunday, our gifted music ensemble sang a dynamic song that I hope you will choose, with me, to “live in light of” as opposed to the cities of man plagued with corruption, disillusionment, and feebleness! Here are the lyrics:

In this house we’ve built of make believe
Loved ones go long before seems it’s time to leave
But we will learn how to grieve, to forgive and receive
‘Til we see them there in that city

Span of stars overhead as we walk this road
While this darkness remains I will bear your load
And together we will tend the seed He’s sown
As we walk along the road to that city

On that day we will sing “Holy, Holy”
On that day we’ll bow down in the light
And then we’ll rise and turn our eyes
To the One who’s the light, the light of that city

Though my mind can’t conceive all that He’s prepared
There the blind will see the sun
What was old will be young
And the lame, they will run all over the streets of that City

On that day we will sing “Holy, Holy”
On that day we’ll bow down in the light
And then we’ll rise and turn our eyes
To the Lord, Jesus Christ, the light of that city

On that day we will sing, “Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy”
On that day we’ll bow down in the light
And then we’ll rise and turn our eyes
To the Lord, Jesus Christ, the light of that City

And then we’ll rise and turn our eyes
To the Lord, Jesus Christ, the light of that City

Don’t loose hope, dear believer. No matter where this post finds us today, we are all headed, by God’s grace, to THIS CITY:

Re 21:1-5, 22-27 “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful…And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.”
